With the 40th pick, in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select...... Xavier Legette, Wide Receiver, South Carolina. 

 

You thought we were playing when I said we were gonna Make Offense Great Again in the Nation's capital, didn't you? So far we've added our Franchise QB (Caleb Williams), the 2nd best TE prospect in the draft (Ja'Tavion Sanders), and here were take the freakishly athletic WR Xavier Legette. We are going to be hard to handle. Who are you gonna double? McLaurin? Dotson? Legette? Sanders? And teams still have to worry about Ekeler slipping out of the backfield. Yep. Kingsbury is gonna have defenses on rollerskates with this group.

 

 

Hail to the Redskins!

Hail to victory!

Braves on the warpath!

Fight for old D.C.!

 

Oh yeah, the Commanders. 

 

@Virgil time for the Bills poll. 

 

 

 

Well I wouldn't double Dotson. I'd leave him uncovered. It barely matters.

Can you feel that?  The collective of so many TSW fans hating you all at once?  Personally, I thank you for making the poll easier, but you definitely woke up and chose violence today 

 

A good warning to those who want the Bills to trade back from 28. There's a very good chance the 2nd WR wave starts around our pick and finishes in the early 2nd. Moving back 10 or more picks may knock us out of the WR race.

 

I'm all for staying at 28 and getting our pick of that 2nd WR group. Many of which would be solid 1st round picks in other years.

Oh, it was ABSOLUTELY intentional

Dotson, though not some insane world beater, has been underutilized in that offense. Also, look who his QB's have been the first two seasons. Heinicke, Wentz, Howell, Brissett. Not exactly an A list of guys, or even a C list for that matter. It's why Washington is where they are right now, picking 2nd in the draft.

WRs I’d be disappointed we lost out on if we traded back, ranked:

 

Legette 

Ladd

Worthy

Franklin

Keon 

 

 

So if 5 minimum go in RD 1 - MHJ, Nabers, Rome, Thomas, Mitchell - and we are up at pick 28 - can’t trade back more then say 36-40.  Those guys could be gone.  

[Kirby Jackson]

After drafting Franklin here, I’d call the Vikings and offer them the next 2 picks plus our 2025 first for Jefferson. Make them say no. 
 

If they say no, call SF & Cincy and offer the next pick + Bills 2025 2nd for Ayiuk and Higgins.

I think the way this works out best case at the draft - this is what I’d do:

 

Pick 28 - Mitchell

 

Trade up from 60 with the Falcons to 46 and double dip.  Good chance at least 1 or 2 of those RD 2 guys I listed are there.

Don’t hate this idea. But I also don’t think the Bills do it

We are almost certainly are not going back to back WR rounds 1 and 2, especially if one is a trade up.  This isn’t Madden.

Agreed…in order to recoup a third round pick, we’d have to drop back into the 40s, not just back to 33 or 35, like some are fantasizing…I know it’s hard to believe, but other NFL teams don’t necessarily want to help the Bills…

@Virgil you can lock it up. Nobody’s getting another 60 votes to overtake Franklin here.

Nah he was overdrafted. He is a starter but he isn't a difference maker.

We shall see if the QB drafted at #2, should be Daniels, is what I think he is. 

[Virgil]

The Buffalo Bills select Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon. 
 

The Texans @stinky finger are on the clock 

[DrDawkinstein]

I guess I'm good with getting Franklin here while picking up a 3rd. But I doubt it would play out that way IRL. I dont see the Chiefs trading back, so there is another WR out, I'd guess Ladd. Yikes.

I wouldn't trade back to 41. Definitely not.

With the 42 pick of the 2024 draft, The Houston Texans select Braden Fiske DT, Florida St.

 

The Texans are preparing for a run at AFC supremacy this season and beyond. The offense is legit good. Not a weakness to be found. Playing with a lead should probably be the norm. On the defensive side,  Demeco Ryan has made it clear that getting after the QB is a priority and the addition of D. Hunter playing opposite Will Anderson, Jr. should make for sleepless nights for opposing D coordinators. Fiske provides explosiveness off the snap and his ability to penetrate the backfield will prove worthy of this pick. Opposing defenses are going to double down on the edges leaving Fiske with to deal with a single blocker. Look for the Texans to be among the league leaders is getting to the QB. 

 

More defensive help likely coming with another 2nd round selection forthcoming........or maybe not?

 

@Might Rather and the Atlanta Falcons are on the clock.

I'm not ok with moving back. If a Chop or Darius, Nix or Pennix is still on the board, I might go back  to 31...for a 3rd.
